Even if Conan was using All-out Attack and was receiving the damage bonus from Boxing at DX+2, he would still have to do a minimum base of 2d-1 crushing damage with his punch before bonuses (meaning that his base thrust damage would have been 2d). That would give him a minimum Striking ST 21.
Well he could have critted the pirate for x3 damage, then he'd only need ST 11 and all out strong to do 20 damage. :)
